Stylish, sleek, improved, disappointing.

 

I've been a Sony fan for years now, yet their recent spate of problems is starting to look like a trend. Starting with the moisture issue on the NWZ202 and then this new-in-box item not working (nevermind the PS debacle), and then the unsatisfactory...

It's small, lightweight and has no wires (except the wrap around band). It'll fit most (but not all) head sizes sung and stay put. The moisture resistance should massively improve the longevity of this model over the previous. It would make the ideal play

I owned the previous model (NWZ-202) and that failed - likely due to the moisture issue. I was happy to see that Sony had addressed this issue with this updated product. Unfortunately, the one I got never worked. I could plug it in and transfer music, but

Fantastic Product from Sony! Well done!!

 

I definitely recommend this Sony Walkman to anyone who uses the gym or enjoys running. I have been using it now for month and I don't go to the gym or running without.

Lightweight, stays put in most situations (even upside down), easy to use for both playing and transferring files, water resistant and a very reasonable price

I think the wire which wraps around the back could be adjustable or slightly smaller. And I look forward to the next generation of this Sony Walkman which will hopefully be smaller

Walkman Review

 

This is a great product. I'm amazed that these aren't more popular. I'm not a member of the cult of apple, so I previously used a Zune for when flying or working out. If you want music for working out, this is a no brainer.

Good product

 

I originally had the 1st generation of this product that had the headphones the small usb type player. My wife ended up washing it with my clothes so i went on amazon to buy the original. Sony upgraded to this hands free player, i was skeptical so i...

still going strong after a year

 

i can't say enough good things about this player. i have a job where i do a lot of physical labor, so corded headphones are not an option. i had the first generation as well, and this fixed a lot of the major problems, with the inclusion of an on/off...

Good

 

It is really good for walking use. However, if I run, it will fall down. Maybe my ears are too small.

Excellent MP3 player for working out or doing anything active!

 

This MP3 player has amazing sound quality, intuitive controls, and is water resistant (really helpful if you sweat a lot during work outs or it rains often while you wear your MP3 player). I've even left mine on in the shower after working out without...

Works Great, Sounds Great, Reliable

 

I like this Sony MP3 player a lot. There is one caveat, which is really an unknown, and that is the fact that I have not tried full long distance running with it yet, and that brings the hard challenge of lots of sweat frying the electronics, but it...
